"I'm standing on the slab and I just say 'Hey Siri, ask my plans what size footing goes here' — it reads the answer back. I don't touch my phone."

Voice & Siri
Ask out loud. Hear the answer. Done.
The app has a full in-app voice mode — tap the microphone, speak your question, and the answer is read back aloud. Silence detection ends your recording automatically. For completely hands-free use, Siri Shortcuts let you ask without even opening the app. Two modes, one goal: answers without stopping work.
In-app voice
Tap mic → speak → hear answer read back
Via Siri
"Hey Siri, ask my plans what's the footing depth here?"
Source Citations
See exactly where every answer came from.
AskThePlans doesn't just give you an answer — it shows which document, file name, and page number the answer was sourced from. Tap any citation to open the referenced page directly in the app using the built-in document viewer. No more "I think it was in the structural drawings somewhere".

Multiple AI Agents
Not sure? Ask a second agent for another opinion.
Different questions suit different agents. The app lets you ask the same question to a different AI agent — a Safety agent, Compliance agent, Cost agent — and compare responses. When one answer isn't enough, you can swipe through multiple perspectives on the same question without re-typing anything.
Agent types
Plan · Safety · Compliance · Cost · General
Second opinion
Tap to ask the same question to a different agent
Conversation History
Everything you've asked, organized by project.
Every question and answer is saved in a thread within your project. Pull up conversation history to review what was checked last week, share context with a colleague, or pick up where you left off mid-job. Nothing gets lost.

What teams say
"Being able to check a detail without climbing down is a game changer. Voice in-app or via Siri — both work. I use whichever is faster on the day."
Electrical Contractor, New South Wales
"I showed my supervisor the second opinion feature. He asked the safety agent the same question the plan agent answered — different angle, same source. That's powerful."
Site Supervisor, Victoria
